Btw, here's another way to get a shell on the clients: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/UnlockChrootRootAcct

And yet another way:

09:11

!localxterm

09:11

<ltspbot>

alkisg: "localxterm" :: while sitting on a thin client, open a gnome terminal. In that, run: ltsp-localapps xterm. An xterm will open. That xterm runs locally, so any commands you enter there are executed directly on the client.

09:14

<rwmarch>

localxterm - thanks, good to know. BTW, how do I tell which dhcpd.conf is used, /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf or /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf. (Still getting to know version 5.)

09:14

<alkisg>

distro/version?

/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf

09:15

<rwmarch>

Thanks.

<alkisg>

You can put it to pastebin if you want a second look

rwmarch: that filename should be relative

09:20

That's your problem

09:20

Btw, where's your tftp dir? In /var/lib/tftpboot or in /srv/tftp?

09:21

(lucid final uses /var/lib/tftpboot, but sometimes it breaks on upgrades from 9.10 and uses /srv/tftp...)

<rwmarch>

OK. This is fresh install from altn CD.

09:23

09:24

thunsucker_ is now known as thunsucker

09:24

<rwmarch>

Clarify for me, which filename in dhcpd.conf you are referring to that should be relative path?

09:24

<alkisg>

grep DIRECTORY /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

09:25

<rwmarch>

TFTP_DIRECTORY="/srv/tftp"

09:26

<alkisg>

OK, you may do the following:

09:26

1) file a bug report on laundhpad

09:27

2) change that file to the "usual" one:

09:27

http://pastebin.com/LfgeJgTd

09:27

3) restart tftp: sudo restart tftpd-hpa

09:28

4) change dhcpd.conf: http://pastebin.com/j9w2GqrA

09:28

5) restart dhcpd: sudo invoke-rc.d dhcp3-server restart

09:28

You should be ok after that.

09:28

<rwmarch>

Will do.

09:29

<alkisg>

Ah, and delete /srv completely, and use /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386 instead.

09:29

(run sudo ltsp-update-kernels to make sure)

I erred. This system is not a fresh install, but an alternate CD upgrade from 9.10.

09:55

And I remember several months ago, with the help of maillist archives, modifying dhcpd.conf because the client was not finding the tftp directory.
